Weight loss diet plan for men weekly

Paying attention to calories and macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat) is the bottom line when it comes to slashing fat, building lean muscle, and achieving your ideal physique. This transformative diet plan is set up to create a caloric deficit (you’ll burn more calories than you’ll consume) for optimum fat loss, while maintaining sufficient protein to build new muscle and just enough carbs to fuel the energy and recovery demands of high-intensity workouts.

POWER FOODS
Nutrient-dense, high-satiety foods make it surprisingly easy to stay in the calorie deficit necessary for fat loss, while still providing the body with the essential nutrients necessary for optimum energy, recovery, and results.
This diet emphasizes animal proteins, non-starchy vegetables, whole fruit, whole-food fats, and a select few starches (yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes). Refined and processed foods will only slow down your progress, with the exception of the occasional “cheat night.”

THE GAME PLAN
Common approaches to dieting for fat loss, such as eating six meals per day or abstaining from food entirely at night, can yield great results, however these plans are rarely practical for the average guy with a job, family, and other commitments. This diet plan will provide an equally effective, more practical alternative.
Numerous scientific studies have shown that if you stick to high-quality foods and are mindful of your total daily calories, meal frequency has no bearing on changes in body composition and metabolic rate. Thus, how often you eat is up to you; just be sure to take your schedule into account and be realistic with yourself. The key here is to make this plan as practical and sustainable as possible.

FAST RESULTS
Human beings evolved on a fasting and feeding cycle. We spent the majority of our existence fasting or eating lighter during the day while actively tracking, hunting, and gathering our food. Then, in the evenings, we relaxed and feasted on the majority, if not all, of our daily food intake. This primal template, it turns out, is perfectly matched to the natural instincts and social patterns of the average modern man.

- Fasting during the morning and eating a lower-carb lunch controls insulin and blood sugar levels and causes fat-burning hormones to surge for a large portion of the day.
- Saving all of your starchy carbs for dinner improves nutrient partitioning (diverting calories to muscle instead of fat storage), and maximizes muscle-building hormones at night.
